The corridor outside the clinic is decorated simply, mostly in white style, and the walls are covered with popular science posters of many small animals.

Sheng Yuan sat quietly on the bench.

It was not until a woman in a nurse's uniform and a blue mask opened the door and called her number that Sheng Yuan picked up the airline box in her arms and stood up.

The air was filled with a faint scent of lemon mixed with disinfectant. It was not unpleasant, but rather had a warm feeling.

This is a pet hospital close to Chengxi Film and Television City.

The corners of the nurse's uniform were pink, with a few small animal paw prints embroidered on them. She was the first to see Sheng Yuan holding the airline box and was stunned: "This is very heavy, you can actually put it on the floor and wait."

Sheng Yuan lowered her eyes and glanced at the box: "It keeps barking. It stops barking when I hold it."

The girl's pleasant voice came from the white mask without any emotion. People who come here bring small animals to see a doctor or for examination, so their eyes and gazes are naturally focused on the small animals. But the female nurse immediately raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her wearing a long plush short coat for several more times.

With her long hair loose and wearing a mask, her face cannot be seen, but her temperament is really good, lazy and calm, which is amazing.

…

Sheng Yuan walked into the consultation room carrying an airline box.

It was not until the box was placed on the table and the door was opened that she saw the full appearance of the cat that she had bought on impulse.

And the tragedy——

The horribly festering skin spread from its limbs to the entire body, and there was almost no intact hair on its body. If it weren't for a small tuft of long white hair that survived on its ears, you would have no idea what color it was, and you couldn't even tell that it was a cat.

I couldn't open my eyes at all, and the corners of my eyes and nostrils were all covered with dirty secretions. The discomfort was visibly evident to the naked eye, and my breathing was so weak that I could hardly feel it unless I got close to listen.

Even a well-informed veterinarian gasped in shock when he saw this cat.

Sheng Yuan frowned immediately.

Watching the doctor catch the cat, suddenly being taken out of the space that barely gave a sense of security, the curled-up cat, although listless and in very bad condition, still reacted violently, using the last bit of its strength to break free from the doctor's hand and escape back into the box.

It can be seen that it is very wary of people. It mercilessly extends its sharp claws and opens its mouth to bite people. If the pet doctor had not been experienced and knew how to deal with it, his hand would have been bitten and bleeding.

But what was strange was that it barked all the way here, but during this struggle, it didn't bark at all.

…

After all, a sick and weak cat has limited physical strength. In the end, the doctor found a small blanket to cover the cat's head to avoid the glaring light tube before completing the routine examination.

He lowered the stethoscope from his chest.

"Serious skin disease and severe malnutrition." The middle-aged doctor said this with a serious face, but his eyes were sharp and scrutinizing. He looked straight at Sheng Yuan with a rude tone.

"It hasn't eaten for a long time, little girl. Did you raise this cat?" The doctor asked this question, but the implication was not the case. He could tell at a glance that this cat was not a stray cat, but was raised by humans. But the annoying thing was that raising a cat like this was worse than letting it wander outside! He looked up and down at the girl in front of him, and his anger grew even greater. This little girl looked pretty, but it turned out that she only cared about her own beauty and didn't care about the life or death of her pet.

He has seen too many little girls of this age who, seeing cats as cute and cuddly, would want to keep one on a whim.

If any trouble arises while raising the animals, they will immediately abandon them and end up throwing them into the trash or leaving them on the street to fend for themselves.

For people working in the pet medical field, what they hate most is seeing small animals suffer.

Sheng Yuan didn't pay attention to the doctor's change in tone and said calmly: "Can it still be cured?"

The veterinarian immediately sneered, "Of course, this ringworm is not a big problem. Just apply the medicine every day and it will heal after a period of time. So, it depends on whether the owner can be patient and responsible in raising the pet."

Sheng Yuan's eyes and attention were on the cat from beginning to end. Hearing this, she only hummed, and was already thinking in her heart how to raise this dirty and pitiful little creature.

She really had no interest in keeping a cat, but the moment she decided to take it away, she would take responsibility.

I haven't eaten pork but I've seen pigs run. Cats are very active animals. They like to run and jump. So how big a space do cats need? If it's too small, will it be unable to move around? Will it feel wronged to follow it?

Is a 300-square-meter villa enough? Or you can directly connect the middle of the two buildings to make a cat room, but you still need to consult a professional pet breeder. This requires the help of the housekeeper.

Sheng Yuan frowned slightly and thought, and in the eyes of the pet doctor, she looked like someone who was afraid of trouble, which made her even angrier.

He said directly to Sheng Yuan: "If you don't want to take care of it, our hospital has a pet adoption program. You can leave the cat here and you can leave."

Sheng Yuan looked up in confusion: "Why don't you want to care?"

The veterinarian's tone was still grim: "Just to confirm with you, are you sure you want to keep it?"

"right."

The veterinarian gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go write you a prescription."

Then he opened the door and walked out quickly. The door of the consultation room slammed shut with suppressed emotions.

Sheng Yuan didn't care at all. She bent down and looked at the cat curled up in the blanket, struggling to breathe. She raised her fingers and touched its ears. The cat's eyes were covered and it couldn't see, but it could feel someone approaching.

It moved its ears and meowed weakly.

Sheng Yuan's almond-shaped eyes paused slightly.

Called again.

…

Two female nurses at the front desk of the pet hospital were chatting enthusiastically.

One of them was holding a Bichon Frise in her arms, and said with a regretful tone: "I don't understand. I have a pink plush coat that is similar in style, but why can't I wear it like that girl? It swells up like a ton when I put it on."

"She has a good temperament."

"Okay, you, do you mean that I have a bad temperament? Or are we still sisters?"

The nurse knew that the other person was just joking, but she had to admit the facts: "There really is someone who is beautiful even without looking at her face. Her skin is also very white."

The female nurse sighed and said, "I really want to ask her which beauty salon she goes to for maintenance. Even if I have to sacrifice all my salary, I will go there!"
